If –3(y - 1) = 9, find the value of 1/2y

Answer 1

The value of
`(1)/(2)y` is -1

Explanation:

Equations

We have the equation:

`-3(y - 1) = 9`

It's required to find

`(1)/(2)y`

Let's solve the equation. Dividing by -3:

`y - 1 = (9)/(-3)= -3`

Adding 1:

`y=-3+1=-2`

Since y=-2, then y/2=-1

The value of
`(1)/(2)y` is -1
